A BANKING Loss.
It is always sad to record the passing of some prominent bankers-such, for example, as the late Mr. F. C. Goodenough -who had become great leaders in the world of banking and finance, but it is equally sad to record the premature termina- tion of a promising career, and much regret has been felt in the City at the death which oecurred last Saturday, after a Short illness, of Mr. Robin d'Erlanger, the elder son of Baron Emile B. d'Erlanger, Chairman of the well-known banking house of Erlangers Limited. Mr. Robin d'Erlanger, who gave distinguished service during the War, in which he obtained the M.C., became one of the first Directors of Erlangers when the firm was converted into a limited liability company in 1928. Although a comparatively young man, Mr. d'Erlanger was associated with many important business undertakings, and it had been felt by all who came in touch with him that he had a most promising career in front of him. That this career should have been terminated at the early age of thirty-eight years in itself evoked great regret by all who knew him, while sympathy was expressed in City circles with Baron Emile in his great bereavement.
